Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multistage interference canceller to be used in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to digital mobile radio communication systems that use a Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of tentative decision in the multistage interference canceller.
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- DS-CDMA Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access
- the CDMA communication system is used for digital mobile radio communication systems in various countries. In this system, it is very important to improve the Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) to decode received signals much more accurately. SIR can be adversely affected, for example, by interference from other users caused by the correlation between spreading codes.
- SIR Signal-to-Interference Ratio
- the multistage interference canceller which generates and removes interference replicas from received signals in multiple stages, is generally expected to improve SIR.
- FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a conventional multistage interference canceller.
- stages 1 to m are linked longitudinally.
- Each stage has interference canceller units (ICU) ( 71 ) and synthesis units ( 72 ).
- the subscripts attached to the names of interference canceller units ( 71 ) ICU 1, 1 ⁇ ICU 1,k , ICU 2, 1 ⁇ ICU 2,k , . . . , and ICU m, 1 ⁇ ICU m,k correspond to stage numbers “ 1 ” to “m” and user numbers “ 1 ” to “k.”
- received signal R 0 is input to interference canceller units ICU 1,1 to ICU 1,k (which correspond to users).
- the interference canceller units then output interference replica signals S 1,1 to S 1,k and estimated interference residual signals d 1,1 to d 1,k .
- the synthesis unit ( 72 ) synthesizes estimated interference residual signals d 1,1 to d 1,k , removes them from received signal R 0 , and then outputs an error signal e 1 .
- error signal e 1 from the synthesis unit ( 72 ) in stage 1 and interference replica signals S 1,1 to S 1,k from interference canceller units ICU 1,1 to ICU 1,k in stage 1 are input to interference canceller units ICU 2,1 to ICU 2,k .
- the interference canceller units output interference replica signals S 2,1 to S 2,k and estimated interference residual signals d 2,1 to d 2,k .
- the synthesis unit synthesizes estimated interference residual signals d 2,1 to d 2,k , removes them from error signal e 1 input from stage 1, and then outputs error signal e 2 .
- stage m error signal e m ⁇ 1 (from the synthesis unit of the previous stage) and interference replica signals S m ⁇ 1,1 to S m ⁇ 1,k (from the interference canceller units of the previous stage) are input.
- the interference canceller units in stage m then output interference replica signals S m,1 to S m,k and estimated interference residual signals d m,1 to d m,k .
- the interference replica signals from which the interference between users and the multipath interference is removed can be obtained by the processing in each stage.
- FIG. 2 shows the configuration of each interference canceller unit ( 71 ) shown in FIG. 1 .
- the interference canceller unit has a three-finger structure for rake (RAKE) synthesis.

- “ 87 ” indicates an adder, “ 88 ” a multiplier, “ 89 ” channel estimation, “ 90 ” a multiplier, “ 91 ” an adder, and “ 92 ” a spreader.
- symbol “ ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ ” represents an estimated value
- symbol “*” represents a complex conjugate number.
- Error signal e m ⁇ 1 from the previous stage (received signal R 0 if stage m is stage 1) and interference replica signal S m ⁇ 1,k from the previous stage (zero if stage m is stage 1) are input to the despread unit ( 81 ) corresponding to the delay profile (path) of the received signal.
- the despreader ( 86 ) demodulates error signal e m ⁇ 1 input from the previous stage in reverse according to a spreading code by despread. Note that in stage 1, received signal R 0 is input to the interference canceller in synchronization with the spreading code.
- Received symbol vector R i is then generated for path i.
- Received symbol vector R i for path is input to channel estimation ( 89 ), which outputs an estimated value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ of the channel (phasing vector) of path i.
- Channel estimation ( 89 ) estimates the value by using a pilot symbols included in the received signal.
- the estimated value of the phasing vector may refer to an error in the signal phase or amplitude caused by phasing in a radio channel.
- the multiplier ( 88 ) multiplies received symbol vector R i by using complex conjugate number ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * of estimated channel value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ for weighting and phase compensation in proportion to the amplitude of estimated channel value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ .
- the synthesizer ( 82 ) synthesizes the signal output from the multiplier ( 88 ) corresponding to the path at the maximum ratio.
- the decision unit ( 83 ) temporarily evaluates synthesized received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ *.
- the synthesizer ( 83 ) outputs estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ following hard decision of synthesized received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ *.
- Output estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ is input to the spreading unit ( 84 ).
- the multiplier ( 90 ) multiplies estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ by estimated channel value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ to generate interference replica signal S m,k for each path, then outputs the generated signal to the next stage.
- the adder ( 91 ) subtracts interference replica signal S m ⁇ 1,k from interference replica signal S m,k for each path, then outputs the result to the spreader ( 92 ).
- the spreader ( 92 ) despreads the signal input from the adder ( 91 ) according to the spreading code, then outputs the spread signal for each path to the synthesizer ( 85 ).
- the synthesizer ( 85 ) synthesizes the signals input from the synthesizer ( 85 ) and outputs estimated interference residual signal d m,k .
- FIG. 3 shows an example of the signal space where the decision unit ( 83 ) executes hard decision of the received signal to which QPSK modulation is applied.
- FIG. 3 shows in detail the first quadrant of the signal space enclosed by Q channels.
- received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * is subject to hard decision to confirm that it is estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ .
- the phase of received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * is compensated so that it becomes a normal vector signal.
- Estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ is then output as the signal after tentative decision at a level equivalent to the total amplitude of estimated channel value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ .
- the interference canceller unit corresponding to each user of a conventional multistage interference canceller has a decision unit ( 83 ).
- the decision unit ( 83 ) inputs and evaluates received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * output after rake synthesis by the synthesizer ( 82 ).
- the decision unit ( 83 ) evaluates estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ (as shown in FIG. 3) even when the signal level is abnormally high or low or the phase difference is large.
- the difference in phase or level occurs, for example some channel estimations use known pilot symbols which are periodically inserted every information data to estimate channel by interpolating the pilot symbols, to estimate value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ .
- the estimated value is also applied to information data and is not always optimum for every received signal due to the varying influence of phasing and noise upon received signals.
- the influence of phasing and noise can cause received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * to differ significantly in level and phase from estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ obtained by hard decision. If this occurs, the reliability of estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ is lowered. If a less reliable estimated information symbol vector Zs ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ is used to output interference replica and estimated interference residual signals to the next stage, the lowered capability of removing interference will cause a problem.
- Another purpose of this invention is to provide a highly accurate method of tentative decision in the interference canceller.
- the present invention has a decision unit for changing hard and soft decision according to a result of comparing the total amplitude of a received symbol vector the total amplitude of an estimated channel value, preset value and phase difference.

- Each despreading unit ( 1 ) receives error signal e m ⁇ 1 and interference replica signal S m ⁇ 1 input and error signal e m ⁇ 1 from the previous stage. (If stage m is stage 1 of the multistage interference canceller, the error signal to be input is received signal R 0 and the interference replica signal to be input is zero.)
- the despreader ( 6 ) despreads in reverse, demodulates, and outputs input error signal e m ⁇ 1 according to a spreading code.
- the reversely spread, demodulated signal output from the despreader ( 6 ) becomes received symbol vector Ri after interference replica signal S m ⁇ 1 is added.
- Channel estimation unit ( 7 ) calculates estimated channel value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ from input interference replica signal S m ⁇ 1 , and then outputs the signal. The theory of calculation is the same as that for the channel estimation shown in FIG. 2 .
- the complex conjugate number ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * of estimated channel value ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ is multiplied by received symbol vector R i , then the result is synthesized by the first synthesizer 2 by rake synthesis.
- the synthesized received symbol vector ⁇ R i ⁇ i ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ * is output to the decision unit ( 3 ).

- Interference replica signal S m ⁇ 1 from the previous stage is also subtracted from interference replica signal S m , then the result is spread by the spreader ( 10 ) according to the spreading code.
- the spread signal is synthesized by the second synthesis unit ( 5 ), and output as an estimated interference residual signal d m .
- the interference canceller executes soft decision for a received symbol vector low in level and reliability.
- a decision error caused by soft decision can be reduced compared to that caused by hard decision, thus improving the interference replica signal accuracy.

- preset values A and B can be combined as follows. When the total amplitude of the received symbol vector exceeds the level specified by preset value A, the amplitude is changed to a lower level and soft decision is executed. When the total amplitude of the received symbol vector does not exceed the level specified by preset value B, zero is output.
- the decision unit ( 13 ) can be easily created in software by using a digital signal processor or field programmable gate array. The same procedure can also be easily created using a circuit.
- the interference canceller compares the total amplitudes of the received symbol vector and estimated channel value, and compares preset values A and B.
- the reliability of the received symbol vector is judged through comparison. When high reliability is determined, hard decision is executed. When low reliability is determined, soft decision is executed with or without the level being lowered. Thus, decision error can be reduced and the accuracy of interference replica signal d m and estimated interference residual signal S m output from each interference canceller unit can be increased. By increasing accuracy, the interference removal characteristics of the interference canceller can be improved.
